DIAMOND DRILL CORES.

cstfy matters WOulu nave us Deicve,
when the pineries Of Michigan will have
practically yielded up their treasures,
but this will not, we think. mark the ex-
termination OF wood working industries
within her borders. II we mistake not
there will be only shifting about Of
things. Instead Of great saw-mills and
lumber piles, there will be a thousand
and one smaller industries which will get
their support from the magnificent hard
wood forests and what remains OF the
pine forests after the sawmill men havele left
them for greener fields. Michigan il well
suited TO become western Main, with
numerous and varied wood working es-
Establishments. In the manufacture Of
numerous household necessaries and nov
elites, as well as articles needed in COM
merce, Maine leads the country. This
state OF things viii sooner or later exist
in Michigan, whose forests are seemingly
as well calculated for such bushes AS
those OF Maine, with the advantage OF
being right Mt the source Of the demand
created by the rapidly growing western
states"

the fact that the election pot IL boiling
and this journal does not care to pour
oil on the rapidly heating blaze. ltwould
be well for the township board To be a
little more careful in the future, az to
whom they grant licenses. This saloon
keeper il guilty OF dirty, mean trick
and one that will not tend TO elevate
him in the eyes OF his saloon-keepinl
friends.
Crystal Falls In on the verge of-not
really boom-but season OF great
business promise. We are not any oil u'
going crazy exactly, nor has the Gogebl'
D craze caught any Of us, but every on'

order in which they belong. No boom
but almost. Our citizens are an excep

man makes his fortune in n minute, tn
remainder OF the populace do not g
